I contacted the Omdurman who ISN'T able to help as the RCMP falls out of their jurisdiction. The last time I called the CFO's office I even offered to drive almost 4 hours to Edmonton to come and see them to work this thing out ... I got the feeling from the lady that it would just waste an entire day of my time and quite a bit of money. At this point I am pretty frustrated as I will most likely miss the black badge training again this summer.
So instead of just ranting on about how bad it is and reading about others saying the same thing I am wondering what if there is anything Canadians civilians can do to improve the processes within the RCMP and CFO's office? Really the people who wish to be responsible firearms owners and pay their taxes are the customers here and we should be able to demand satisfaction.
